Not longer ago than 1916 mastodon
skeleton was exhibited in New Orleans az
that of IA giant. The Uranium was made
of rawhide, fantastic wooden teeth were
fitted in the jaws, all missing parts were
restored after the human model, and the
whole raised upon the hind legs. 1t GER

sponsible for many Nightmares. AS a
sad commentary on the state of the med

was perfectly honest in his belief. and to
support his belief he had a trunk full of

The cOcoanut is in many respects like
the human skull although it closely re-
sembles the skull of tie monkey. A
sponge may be SO held as to remind one
of the unileshed face of the skeleton, and
the meat of an English walnut is almost
the exact representation of the BRAIN.
Plums and black cherries resemble the
human eyes; almonds and some other
nuts resemble the different varieties of
the human nose. and an open oyster and
its shell are perfect image of the human
ear.
The shape of almost any mans body
may he found in the various kinds of
mammoth pumpkins. The open hand
may be discerned in the form assumed
by scrub willows and growing celery.
The German turnip and the egg plant
resemble the human heart. There are
other striking resemblances between hui
man organs and certain vegetable forms.
The forms Of many mechanical contriv-
ances i'll common use may be traced back
to the patterns furnished by nature.

CONCERNING HOUSEKEEPING

These rule, for housekeeping time are
from the Rural New Yorker:
Don't open the campaign too early.
Begin with the cellar instead of the
garnet.
Clean closets before rooms.
Clean one room at time, thu, avoid
ing distracting confusion.
If the woodwork of a room needs re-
painting and your circumstances are such
that YOU can afford the outlay, now is
the time to have it done.
Brush bed springs and inside of bed
steads with a mixture of quicksilver and
white of anegg.
Because you are cleaning there is no
reason why breakfast, dinner and supper
should not be on time. \ little fore
thought and extra preparation of food
the day before cleaning will enable you
to have your customary meals without
resorting to that unsocial makeshift-''a
cold bite in the closet"
Don't be unwise enough to take down
every stove in the house. except the one
in the kitchen, because of a few warm
April days.

A Toadying Tailor.

The English tradesman is a toady had
some clothes being built at a tailor's, patron
lied principally by army officers. Being only
an American civilian, he did not treat me
with any extraordinary politeness. Indeed,
he was very uncivil. When the major general
called for me that day at the hotel, told him
had to 90 to the tailor's to try on those
clothes. "All right, I'll drive there and wait
for you;" and away we went. "rll just go
in," he said, when we got there, @and see what
your taste is in coats" The tailor simply
fell down when he saw me walk in with the
flajor general he groveled, he cringed-so
much so that laughed at him, and when he
rot out / told the major general.
"Yes," he said, cit is rather contemplate
for a man to get down and cringe, but / sup

THIS is from the Philadelphia CORES

THIS Is from the Philaoelpnla ccITe>
spondesce of the New York Sun:
when Foraker came riding up at the
head of the Ohio people in the parade of
Friday there was great deal of cheer
ing, more than there was at any other
time during the review. Foraker. who
is . handsome and distinguished looking
young man, rode ine horse and. backed
by his brilliantly uniformed staff, made
a very striking appearance. The Presl-
dent had made it q rule to take on his
hat and salute each regimental CON-
mander and every flag. He acknowl-
edged no other salutes, but stood with
his hat on, his left hand behind his
back, and his right hand thrust between
the buttons of his Prince Albert coat,
which was tightly buttoned. His tall
hat was little tilted, giving bin slight
ly rakish air, and he gazed down upon
the great display with sidelOng air of
attention. Foraker, just before he
reached the stand, took off his hat and
made a graceful bow and rode up bare
headed. looking straight up into the
Presidents face. The President. look
ing straight at him, removed his hat just
as he had done moment before to Gov.
Lounsbury, and then the Governor of
Ohio turned his attention to the other
side of the street. where Mrs. Cleveland
stood in balcony of the Hotel Lafayt
cite under charge Senator Arthur Cor
man and party. Mrs. Cleveland looked
at him through pair of opera glasses,
and when he bowed turned about and
stepped within the room. After the
Ohio people had passed she reappeared
and remained until the Grand Army
began passing, when she went to lunch
eou with Mr.. ChildS."

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

The people of Ohio are called upon this
fall to testify to their appreciation of the
business-like management of state affairs
under the administration which we have
had for the last two years. The especial
distinction of Governor Foraker's admin
istration has been its business-like deal
ings with all questions of public policy
and state government. The penitentiary,
which under the Hoadly administration
had reached condition where it cost the
taxpayers of the state over three hun
dred thousand dollars more than was re-
allied from it, has been placed on a basis
where it pays expenses and turns some
thing into the state treasury, thus reliev-
ing the taxpayers from a portion of the
other burden. 1t does this, too, without
encroaching on the domain of free labor.
We all remember that Governor Hoadly
when he went out of Office had antici-
pated over a half million of dollars of
the revenue to be received during the
first year Of the succeeding administra-
ton. Extravaganza and wastefulness had
brought the state treasury into a bank
rupt condition, and with an empty treas
ury and everything running at odds and
ends Governor Foraker was called upon
to assume control Of affairs of the state.
In his two years administration, without
raising the rate of taxation or in any way
increasing the tax burdens borne by the
citizens of the state, he has succeeded in
paying off the Indebtedness left as a
heritage by the Hoadly coal oil regime,
Al
amount of money by reducing the rate of
interest carried on the public debt, paid
off considerable of that debt, shut
down on the extravaganza and sloth
which he found in the management of
the various departments and public insti-
tutions, and nov the state is in healthy
financial condition. The voters of Ohio
are to decide on the 8th day of November
whether this is the sort of administration
to be encouraged and continued, or
whether they desire to return once more
to the disgraceful methods of the Demo
cratic administrations of Hoadly and
Bishop. There can be no two opinions
about the merit of the tickets presented
to the people this year, and no one famil-
lar with the intimate relations which Mr..
Powell had with Mr.. Hoadly but knows
that he was largely responsible for most of
the mistakes of the Hoadly administration.
Every day people are growing less parti-
san and more intent on securing good
business management of public affairs.
For this reason it is reasonably and justly
supposed that men who hitherto cast
their votes for the Democratic candidates
will this year find it their duty to vote
for Governor Foraker and the Republican
ticket. They certainly have the best pos
ible reason for doing so.
